I'd like to join please:)
Can I be put down for £6500 as I'm sure I've missed somethingJanuary 2025 - Debt £20,0060 -
Just paid a cheeky extra £10 off. I have my last minimum payment to make on the 20th Dec and that will be me for the rest of this year.
Next year I will be paying off a little bit of the debt and adding to it significantly :eek:then 2016 will involve some serious debt busting!!
New figures:

In and out in 5 minutes and that included a parking space. Easier than we thought.
Nice shiny new micro-combi oven. We bought some big jacket spuds for dinner to test it out.
We got a micro combi about 7 years ago and basically used it as a microwave. Last Christmas our cooker stopped working and we got the instructions out for the microwave. We use it as an oven quite a bit now. It's handy when you have only one thing to cook. We often do garlic bread or pizza in there. Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is make sure you use it as more than a microwave!Grocery challenge-

Spuds last night were awesome, fluffy inside and crispy skins. I think we will use it more than our oven as we only really have small things to cook in it.0 -
Hoping my ex finally pays me the extra child support he owes me as that would take me just over the £3,000. I don't think I'll have any spare money before the end of the year otherwiseDebts Jan 2014 £20,108.34 :eek:

Thanks for the thanks everyone!
Getting very excited for the end of year now. I am going to make my final payment on Christmas Eve I think - see how much money I have left. We will be getting pair 5 days early this month, and I need to be careful not to touch that money until I have to! Glad to see so many of you continuing forward to next year
mothernerd - an eventful year and a half! I am glad to hear your hip replacement is starting to help the pain, and have my fingers crossed for a quick sale for you. Well done for remembering us after all that as well! Good luck for the next year0 -

I get paid on Monday but will transfer it to the savings account until the end of the month. I have done this for years since ending up in a real pickle once. Never again. I don't like 6 weeks between pay days.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%
